Description

Trailer for Big Sur.

Big Sur focuses on a moment in Jack Kerouacs life when, overwhelmed by the success of his opus On the Road and struggling with alcoholism, he retreats to his publisher Lawrence Ferlinghettis cabin in the small, coastal California town of Big Sur, which eventually inspires his 1962 novel of the same name. Kerouacs time begins with quiet moments of solitude and communing with nature. But, struck by loneliness, he hightails it to San Francisco, where he resumes drinking heavily and gets pushed into a relationship with his best friend Neal Cassadys mistress, Billie.
